Question

Is 4/12 greater than 4/6

Answer 1

4/12 is not greater than 4/6.
You can determine this by finding the least common denominator, which would be 12. Since 4/12 is already converted, you would only have to change 4/6.
4 x 2 = 8
6 x 2 = 12 (common denominator)
The new fraction would be 8/12.
4/12 is less than 8/12.

Answer 2

`(4)/(12)` is not greater than
`(4)/(6)`

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to compare fractions is by having a common denominator in both fractions.

This way, we will simply compare numerators

Now, the given fractions are
`(4)/(12)` and
`(4)/(6)`

We can make the denominator in the second one 12 by multiplying it by 2.

However, to preserve the value of the fraction, we will need to multiply it by
`(2)/(2)` not only 2.

Doing this, we will have:

`(4)/(6)` *
`(2)/(2)` =
`(8)/(12)`

Now, the two fractions became
`(4)/(12)` and
`(8)/(12)`

Since the denominator is the same, we will simply compare the numerators.

Since 8 is greater than 4, this means that
`(8)/(12)` is greater than
`(4)/(12)`

Hope this helps :)
